Easy Quick DIY Bow Tutorial (Images)
May 20th, 2013 by kpriss
You know me well by now and you know I’m a simple girl with simple pleasures. And one of them always takes the shape of a bow. Bow me a headband, bow me a belt, bow me a fabric print, bow me a ring, bow me a bag, bows make me happy. And I imagine they make other’s delight as well, so here’s why I thought this find was amazing not just for me and I tweaked it into a short visual how to.
Because a gift is always a good idea. And a bow topping a gift wrap is like the icing on the cake. Yes, it may get torn and tossed away, but the initial feeling, the initial sighting is unparalleled! You can make one from paper, felt, leather, cardboard or any other type of material you think fits the profile.
The original idea and the pictures belong to the lovely and creative Jessica Jones from How About Orange and she deserves all and every credit for introducing this magic paper bow into our lives! I just tweaked the pictures and assembled them together, added a watermark pointing towards Jessica’s original website. I hope you enjoyed my modest DIY contribution to your day. Don’t forget, though: a bow always makes everything special!
Drink Tea Like Gatsby With Tiffany $34,550 Silver Tea Set!
May 20th, 2013 by kpriss
I’m really an avid tea drinker. I love to drink my tea hot, even during the summer season (weird? Could be, as I’m also enjoying home-made ice tea as well but I’d rather have my tea on the hot side). As such, when our dear friend, Ellington, sent me a link to Tiffany’s Gatsby inspired jewelry collection, my eyes saw the sparkle of the tea set instead of the precious gems and cascading chained metals and beads.
And in good reason as while a bracelet costs $10,500 (I’m just citing one of the many prices, don’t be alarmed, they’re not all 5-figured tagged!) and the fancy tea set costs $34,550. Sterling silver, Arts&Crafts inspired, this set really is as iconic as the brand and the architectural inspiration it was spawned to remind of.

Anja Rubik Replacing Kate Moss In YSL Parisienne Perfume Ad
May 20th, 2013 by kpriss
Although wearing perfume during the very hot summer days, the season seems to be the perfect time to launch a new fragrance. Or an old one’s new ad campaign. After Givenchy and Calvin Klein, here’s another major ad campaign keeping fashion people busy with all that style talk, talk, talk!
Anja Rubik replacing Kate Moss as Yves Saint Laurent Parisienne Perfume girl. Good or bad, it’s for us to judge and for the beauty counters to sell out. Kate Moss is not one to run on empty (of fashion contracts, that is) and I’m certain her portfolio is already full as she’s been reportedly posing for L’Oreal Kerastase.
Blake Lively Cooks: Elettra’s Goodness
May 20th, 2013 by kpriss
There’s a new fashion in fashion. (did that came out odd? But it’s true, believe me!) Remember that foodie magazine with Karlie Kloss on the cover? Or Jourdan Dunn cooking in some video episode? Catwalk is getting closer to the kitchen, one show at the time!
Vogue’s latest ‘doing’ is a series called ‘Elettra’s Goodness’ where the famous Elettra Rosellini Wiedemann, famous for being the daughter of Isabella Rossellini more than for her own modeling career, is cooking or more specifically chatting with other people while they’re cooking. A nice, chatty talk around the stove with all kinds of personalities. In this case, Blake Lively.
Rooney Mara Goes Downtown For Calvin Klein Perfume Ad
May 17th, 2013 by kpriss
What is this? Calvin Klein day? Rooney Mara who, since she was styled for The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, became someone whose style and looks are synonymous with off-beat, atypical and fashion avant-garde, is the face chosen by Calvin Klein to represent his newest fragrance for women: Downtown.
Scheduled for release this July, Downtown’s advertising campaign was photographed by Jean-Baptiste Mondino while the video commercial (of which we know nothing momentarily) was directed by the great David Fincher. Usually, Calvin Klein’s perfumes are some of the best selling in the industry and I’m certain that this won’t be the exception, especially with such professional help as Mondino and Fincher.
Fashion At 44: Christy Turlington Flawless Harper’s Bazaar June 2013
May 17th, 2013 by kpriss
After having heard about Christy Turlington Burns getting back on the Calvin Klein advertising projects, I discovered today that she was on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar June-July 2013! This definitely marks a comeback for the gorgeous model! Which is excellent since she’s really one remarkable woman, both in and out.
Harper’s covers (newsstand and subscribers) were both excellently done with minimal visual effort, black and white and Christy. She brings all the magic! And although I really love her wide, honest smile (from the newsstand cover), the gorgeous Tom Ford zebra dress on the second cover is just breathtaking! There’s something iconic in that picture taken by Daniel Jackson. Something unwritten, unspoken, unclear but undoubtedly amazing!
Dare To Wear These Black Cat Tights?
May 17th, 2013 by kpriss
You know what they used to say: that the Internet was made of cats? It’s hard to reach the same level of popularity our beloved furry felines have reached through the years. Memes, whatnots, they’re part of our daily internet routine. If ever Facebook changes logo, they should really consider integrating a cat-feature in there somewhere. A tail, maybe?
From our Japanese fashionistas who just looove feisty dressing and seem so fearless about their wardrobe: the Neko character tail tights really make a statement. A cat head on your knees and tails on the back of your legs, there’s no way you could walk down the street unnoticed. I wonder if they could do a customizable print? Like put on the grumpy cat’s face on the front? For – you know – those days when your muscles just won’t curl up in a smile?
And, as you’d expect, they’re out of stock but restocking in less than a month. Enough time to dream about and imagine an entire Harajuku wardrobe! Don’t expect it to come cheap, though – this pair of black cat tights alone is $30 at the japantrendshop dot com!
Wear Your Message, Dance Your Words: Puma Dance Dictionary
May 17th, 2013 by kpriss
Dancing has always been a part of my life. Not in a professional way, though. I just felt it. I felt like dancing. And danced. Took a lesson here and there, but nothing serious, I felt like there was too much limitation just learning some steps and strictly repeating them routinely. Dance is too free for that. Dance is alive. We breathe life into it.
Puma Dance Dictionary brings together two of my biggest passions: dance and clothes. Just imagine in how many ways your wardrobe would be radically revolutionized if any time, at any moment, you’d be wearing just the clothes you could dance in! If you would wear shoes you could dance in! If you’re going to a lazy patch or just feeling dreary, bookmark this video and watch it. Replay it again and again. Put on your favorite song, get your rear up and moving, feel that music! Express that music! Free yourself. Clothes should be helping you achieve that.
If they don’t, you need to change. Get comfy! Get creative. Express what you’re feeling inside! It’s like working out, only a zillion times better and more rewarding! Ready? Hit the jump, press play!
